With lighting being the biggest enabler of the IoT, IT leader, Cisco and LED innovator, Cree have discovered the secret to making the IoT a reality, forever changing the way we interact with light and consume energy. As part of Cisco’s Digital Ceiling ecosystem, Intelligent Light, powered by Cree’s SmartCast Technology with PoE (Power over Ethernet) uses digital LED technology, sensors and software to make the spaces it serves and user’s experiences better and more productive.
What makes this technology so special? Cree SmartCast PoE technology can deliver energy savings up to 70% greater than LED lighting alone, while making new services and experiences possible. In fact, Mobile County Public Schools recently deployed the technology in their administrative offices, with plans to implement in their classrooms this spring. Now, educators and students can experience the power of high performance, intelligent LED lighting, and unmatched energy efficiency – leaving budget for more important initiatives to further education. Lighting is everywhere there are people, and Cree is now able to economically deploy a powerful, digital device with sensors, intelligence and networking essentially every 8 feet within a building – no other industry can deliver this type of pervasive.
